Player Discussion Will Slafkovsky better last years stats

[Habs13]

Gah, I hate this new board... hope it gets fixed and soon.

So anyway, was wondering what people thought about this. Will Juraj Slafkovsky have a crazy second half to his season, and beat his numbers from last year? Last year, he put up 20 goals and 30 assists for 50 points. So far this year, he's at 4 goals and 19 assists for 23 points - halfway through the season.

So, will Slafkovsky have better numbers this year, over last year?

I think he had less than 23 points when he was ~40 games in last year.

He was better the second half of his draft year.
Injured the second half of his rookie year.
Better the second half of his sophomore year, including long stretches he was PPG

I think he's played better overall the last couple weeks (especially last night). Have a feeling he's a second half of the season player, the inverse Brian Savage if you will. Since nobody else has really worked with Suzuki and Caufield I think his better play and riding shotgun with those two as they chase PPG seasons will propel him to better numbers at end of year.

Doesn't matter what his numbers are playing with almost PPG guys. He needs to play better overall - more creative, defensively, physically... And he'll get there, he's so young still.

He was at 15pts at 41 games played last season.
